Popis: A novel case of neurotrophic keratitis and severe corneal melt requiring surgical management is presented 1 month following trans-scleral cyclodiode for Coats disease and neovascular glaucoma. Risk factors contributing to the complication include previous extracapsular cataract surgery, perioperative use of topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and dexamethasone/neomycin, as well as other topical drops containing preservatives such as benzalkonium chloride. Meticulous consideration of preoptimization of the ocular surface and rationalization of perioperative eye drop regimes is discussed.
